Creating Castles in the Sky

I’m a happy hippy librarian helping children build their dreams.

“Before we begin, let’s get something straight. This is not a history book.” I started @JasonReynolds83 new book last night. I have to remind myself not to rush and to savor each word. @BCPSLMP @Dogwood_ES @CoitTammi @JToe3

I just got my first Amazon package since we have been home... I can’t decide where to begin! @JasonReynolds83 @BCPSLMP @Dogwood_ES

Scooby Doo and I have been reading together for 35 years! Do you have a favorite friend you like to snuggle with while you read? @CoitTammi @JToe3 @Dogwood_ES @L_DeDeo

Watch an episode of Who Was? on Netflix. Then choose a podcast about the same historical character. Dig deeper and read a book from Dogwood’s Destiny Catalogue. And finally express what you learned in a creative way.

This collection of unfinished comics is sure to entice even the most reluctant writer. https://t.co/h5Cf3oGXNC @CoitTammi @JToe3 @L_DeDeo @Dogwood_ES @BCPSLMP

Peter Reynolds is an amazing artist, whose books inspire me to honor my unique, creative, and sometimes weird self! @CoitTammi @L_DeDeo @JToe3 @Dogwood_ES @BCPSLMP

Want to guarantee a giggle, read books about underpants! @L_DeDeo @BCPSLMP @JToe3 @CoitTammi

[Creating Castles in the Sky @CreatingSky]

If your child likes Captain Underpants and Dog Man, don’t miss out on Dav Pilkey’s Mighty Robot Series! They are some of my favorite books for children transitioning into chapter books. @CoitTammi @BCPSLMP @L_DeDeo @JToe3 @Dogwood_ES

I just could not choose ONE! We are celebrating Read Across America this week! Post a selfie of you and your favorite books. Let’s spread a love of reading instead of the flu! @dogwood_es @CoitTammi @JToe3 @L_DeDeo @BCPSLMP

[Creating Castles in the Sky @CreatingSky]

Help spread a love of reading this week. Share your favorite book with your child, snap a selfie, and send the image to Mrs. Jordan and your picture might be highlighted during the morning announcements!

And the winners are... let’s be honest, I could never pick just one!

Dogwood’s first book fair starts on Monday December 9. It’s a perfect time to buy some awesome Christmas gifts AND support the school library. And we still need volunteers!
